Nominee Mark
The Nominee mark identifies an entry formally recognized within the IBA framework and accepted into the IBA recognition record after review.
Meaning
The Nominee mark may be used only when the entry has received an official IBA Nominee result. It should be presented as a recognized entry within the relevant field and year.
Do not use the Nominee mark to imply a Gold Award, Grand Gold Award, regulatory approval, clinical validation, professional licensing, or legal compliance certification.
Approved Wording
Final wording should match the official result notice, certificate reference, and registry record.
Use the mark on the entry page, awards section, portfolio, product page, professional profile, or press page where the Nominee result is clearly connected.
Use accurate captions that state Nominee, the recognition field, and the award year. Avoid phrasing that suggests a higher distinction.
Maintain sufficient size and contrast in brochures, media kits, presentation decks, salon materials, or event documents.

Registry Reference
Where available, online use should link to the IBA Registry record or certificate verification page. The registry reference confirms an IBA recognition record and does not function as certification, testing, approval, licensing, or compliance validation.
